Our take on the Humminbird HELIX 5 CHIRP/GPS G3 Portable

The HELIX 5 CHIRP GPS G3 Portable is a 5-inch color fish finder bundled into a soft-sided shuttle with a battery, charger and suction cup transducer, so it moves from boat to ice shack to rental without wiring. Dual Spectrum CHIRP 2D sonar gives a wide search mode and a narrow detail mode, and internal GPS with Humminbird Basemap plus AutoChart Live lets you map uncharted water on the fly. It suits anglers who fish several waters and want mapping and CHIRP without a permanent console install. Against fixed-mount HELIX units it trades screen size and network expansion for portability; against bare sonar-only portables it adds GPS and live mapping.

What reviewers say

About the Humminbird HELIX 5 CHIRP/GPS G3 Portable

The HELIX 5 CHIRP/GPS G3 Portable is a fish finder and GPS combo with a 5-inch widescreen color display. It uses Dual Spectrum CHIRP 2D sonar and has an internal GPS with the Humminbird Basemap. AutoChart Live is built in. It is operated with keypad softkey controls, not a touchscreen.

Dual Spectrum CHIRP sonar works with a Low-Q CHIRP transducer and offers two search modes. Wide Mode gives maximum coverage, and Narrow Mode focuses on fine detail. The Basemap shows contours, depth markers, buoys, day markers, hazards and marinas. It includes charts of more than 10,000 lakes, plus coastal coverage for the continental U.S.

AutoChart Live maps depth contours, bottom hardness and vegetation as you drive the boat. It has eight hours of built-in recording time and works with AutoChart Zero Line SD cards for more mapping capacity. Optional Humminbird LakeMaster and CoastMaster charts and compatible Navionics charts can also be used. This portable version comes with a shuttle, battery, charger, suction cup transducer and a soft-sided carrying case.

Questions and answers

Does it come with a battery and charger?
Yes. The portable package includes a shuttle case, a battery, a charger and a suction cup transducer.
Can I use it for ice fishing?
Yes. The portable shuttle and battery let you run it on the ice, and the CHIRP sonar works through the ice with the transducer in the water.
Does it have side imaging?
No. It offers Dual Spectrum CHIRP 2D sonar only, without Side Imaging or Down Imaging.
Can I load Navionics or Humminbird premium charts?
Yes. It is compatible with Humminbird and Navionics premium fishing charts in addition to the built-in basemap.
Does it record and create its own maps?
Yes. AutoChart Live builds depth maps of the water you fish as you move.
Is the screen readable in sunlight?
The 5-inch color display is designed for outdoor use, but at this size glare and split views can make detail harder to read.
